Reply button - (X) not linking due to span tag

[Ezd]

Me and others have noticed that you sometimes have to click twice on the reply-button in order for the comment field to open. The problem seems to happen randomly. Any fix for this?

I haven't experienced this before, could you be more specific on when this occurs? Specifically, what browsers this happens in?

Need steps to reproduce.

It might be a browser thing. Right now I'm testing it with Safari 4.0.4 (latest) and Firefox (latest). I usually experience this in the Profile and with Safari 4.0.4. Today I had a session where I had to click the reply button 3 times for it to open (Safari browser again). And sometimes only 2 times. I know it's not easy to reproduce as it seems to be random.

I don't think this is the correct wording of the bug. In fact I don't think it's a new bug at all. It's related to your other ticket: ​http://trac.buddypress.org/ticket/1633. If you click on the '(0)' it won't work, but if you click on the "Reply" word it will work. Try it.

But if you click anywhere else on the orange area it will work, just not on the "(x)"

Wow nice catch haloid. Thats excactly what it is!

I think this is a very annoying bug and it's related to my other ticket yes. (X) isn't linkable on the Reply button or in the Optionbar where (X) is.

Hope this will be fixed soon.

The reply button needs to be working no matter where you decide to click on it.

It's because the (x) is enclosed with a [span] tag.
I removed the span tag in Firebug and it works now.

I'm guessing Andy put the [span] tag in there for theme developers.

[Ezd]

Ok tnx, thats the solution then. Lets hope Andy will fix this in the default theme then.
